In a more serious episode, we talk to author and journalist Nick Bryant about his 2009 book “The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse & Betrayal.” We've mentioned the Franklin Credit Union scandal in passing on the show before, but it begins with the collapse of the Franklin Credit Union in Omaha, Nebraska in 1988 due to rampant corruption and embezzlement of its manager, Lawrence E. King, Jr. Soon after, King was accused, along with GOP lobbyist Craig Spence, of orchestrating a massive child prostitution ring, shuttling minors between Omaha and D.C., and using their solicitation to blackmail high ranking political figures. Bryant's work examines the evidence behind this, and we discuss the scandal, the victims, the cover up, intelligence agency connections of its perpetrators, and the crucial links between intelligence-led sexual political blackmail operations of the past with the Epstein case today.

He served as Dean of Trinity Cathedral in Omaha, Nebraska from 2013-2020, and was the Canon to the Ordinary in the Episcopal Diocese of Kansas from 2009-2013. He received his Master of Divinity from Yale University and a Diploma in Anglican Studies from Berkeley Divinity School at Yale in 2002.

On this episode of Cinematic Heartland: A Filmmaking Podcast, Actor Katie Otten joins us from Omaha, NE to talk about what got her involved in filmmaking, the filmmaking scene in the Omaha area, her web series called Inner Worlds, Dungeons & Dragons, and how she ended up on the cover of a VC Andrews novel.

Kros Strain Brewing Co. shows us what's happening in Nebraska beer We met the crew from Kros Strain Brewing Co. when they visited Atlanta for The Juice Strikes Back festival in 2019.  This invitational beer fest brought some amazing beers to Georgia and introduce a lot of new breweries to the Peach State.  We chatted at the time about getting together for a show and it's only taken us three years to make it happen. Better late than never. Co-founder Bobby Kros and Head Beer Pusher Jeff Hardy sat down with us this week to share a few beers and tell us about their brewery.  As we sip their Fairy Nectar (the #1 IPA in Nebraska) I get chastised for mentioning loose meat sandwiches.  Hardy tells me that's an Iowa thing and I better recognize the Runza.  Where I grew up in the little town of Norfolk, NE we had the loose meat sandwich.  Perhaps we were infiltrated, indoctrinated by those dirty Iowans.  My life is a lie, my lesson was learned, it won't happen again. Kros Strain joins us this week hot off a World Beer Cup medal win for Saison 635 in the Brett Beer cateogry.  We learn about the beer, talk about Brett, bringing back saison, and the "big barrels" that are foeders and what happens with the ones at Kros Strain.  We talk about beer in green bottles and the joys of intentionally skunking your funky saisons, micheladas and more lager talk.  Why they're popular and what American brewers might do with these classic styles over time. Wrapping up we sample the to-be-released "Barrelywine", a Barleywine from a forgotten barrel and talk all things "wine" beers - Wheatwine, Barleywine, Munichwine, and even Hopwine.

Cody Garcia was a four-time NCAA Division II All-American and two-time champion at powerhouse Nebraska-Omaha under coach Mike Denney. Garcia, the son of a coach himself, started his career at his alma mater after finishing up with his eligibility in 2009. Most in wrestling know what happened in Omaha at the end of the 2011 season, but Garcia moved on to coach at two NAIA schools in Kansas. His first stop would be Bethany before spending the last seven years leading the Wildcats of Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. Garcia returns to Division II as the 10th coach at Central Missouri, the same place where his father Mike won an NCAA Division II title in 1982. On Episode 705 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I talk with Garcia about his path through Omaha, wrestling for Coach Denney at “the other place,” and his return to Division II. Garcia also touches on going into the UNO Hall of Fame despite the school no longer fielding its championship wrestling program and the emotion involving the experience as well as the dynamic of the coaching tree of his college coach impacting the landscape of Division II wrestling in Missouri.  Links to FollowDaily Wrestling Newsletter: https://www.mattalkonline.com/news Contribute: https://www.mattalkonline.com/contribute Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/mattalkonline Rokfin: https://www.rokfin.com/creator/mattalkonline The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Sportswear: https://www.mattalkonline.com/compound Quick Subscribe: https://www.Podfollow.com/shorttime Short Time Wrestling Podcast: Episode 705 – May 11, 2022

CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday May 11th, 2022. Intro this clip: https://twitter.com/johnwesleyreid/status/1524032799501697037 Justice Alito’s neighbor decided to blast “Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus” as pro-abortion protestors, outside of Alito’s home, shout something about wanting justice? Have you signed up for our show in Arizona…it is next week, what are you waiting for! Folks- we got some exciting news for the happenings going around here at CrossPolitic and the Fight Laugh Feast Network. First, starting May 30th, CrossPolitic will be moving to a daily show, airing every day at 6pm and of course dropping podcasts. Knox has been pushing us to do this for two years, and he has finally won that argument. So, get ready to tune into you number one nightly news and commentary source! Secondly, to make room for all this new production, the Daily News Brief will be going back to audio, which is where a bulk of our Daily News listeners were at anyways. Thirdly, we have a bunch of new club member benefits we are working on, including an updated website club portal and club only social media platform. So, those listeners who have been lingering in the background, join the club, the party is just getting started. And for our thousands of club members, thank you for staying with us, your continued support, and your prayers. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and this very much feels like a further up and further in moment. Now where was I. Oh that is right, the bloodlust for the abortion crowd is insanity, and you will be seeing unleashed insanity if Roe is overturned. After calling the LGBT to arm themselves, the Mayor of Chicago also promised that Chicago would become and abortion sanctuary. The call of violence is spreading and this pass Sunday a molotov cocktail was thrown into the Wisconsin Family Action offices. As the pro-abortion community found out about it, they decided to leave messages, and here is a compilation of some of those messages: https://notthebee.com/article/pro-life-wisconsin “​​(A) radical pro-abortion group named Jane’s Revenge is saying it was responsible and is threatening increasingly violent attacks that extend beyond Wisconsin if its demands are not met, writing, “Wisconsin is the first flashpoint, but we are all over the US, and we will issue no further warnings.” https://www.lifenews.com/2022/05/10/pro-abortion-group-says-it-firebombed-pro-life-office-promises-more-violence-nationwide-our-last-warning/ Plug Did you know that more than 75% of those raised in evangelical, Presbyterian, and Reformed churches don’t pursue any kind of Christian higher education? Surprising isn’t it. Cornerstone Work & Worldview Institute is seeking to provide a new, exciting, and affordable option for Christians. Their mission is to build Kingdom culture in the workplace by equipping their students in a Trinitarian worldview and vocational competencies. Their low-cost full-time program offers integrative course modules, internships, and mentoring so their students can finish debt-free with vocational preparation, a robust faith, and financial potential to build strong godly families and homes rooted in their communities and churches long-term. Visit their website at www.cornerstonework.org to find out more about enrolling. Elon Musk would let President Trump back on Twitter and cited the ban was "foolish to the extreme”. Roll clip: https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1524085282366177283 Friends, we have tons of military personnel that listen to our shows, and they keep us in the loop about what is going on, on the inside as they fight for their careers against the forced vaccination policies. Well right now there is an important court case in front of a federal district court judge in Omaha, that if the judge would rule in favor of religious exemptions, it would apply to the Air Force nationwide. According to the Omaha World Herald: https://omaha.com/news/state-and-regional/offutt-airmen-ask-judge-to-block-covid-vaccine-mandate-citing-religious-beliefs/article_8e96601c-cd89-11ec-b0a7-1f525a4310d5.html “Three current or former Offutt airmen who have refused the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds asked a federal district court judge in Omaha on Monday to stop the Air Force from discharging or otherwise punishing them. Capt. Ian McGee, an RC-135 instructor pilot with the Offutt-based 55th Wing, said he applied for a religious exemption eight months ago but hasn’t received a response from his chain of command. He expects it to be denied, as the Air Force has denied nearly all of the more than 7,800 airmen who have applied for them under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, known as RFRA. McGee said he would give up his nine-year military career rather than be injected with a vaccine tested with cell lines taken many years ago from aborted fetuses. “It goes against my sincerely held religious beliefs as a born-again Christian,” McGee testified. “My resolve is to stay with my relationship with Jesus Christ.” The three airmen are part of a larger group of 36 — including active-duty, National Guard and reserves — who filed suit in U.S. District Court in Nebraska in March seeking to overturn the mandate issued by the Pentagon last August. They argue it is a violation of their First Amendment rights. They are represented by former Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach and a team of lawyers from the America First Policy Institute, a conservative think tank organized last year by several top advisers in the administration of former President Donald Trump. Kris Kobach “blasted the elaborate multi-level review of the applications for religious exemptions, alleging that more than 7,500 have been denied and only 46 granted. And the ones granted were only for airmen who were within six months of retirement.” Be praying for our people in the military. This is stressful on their families, careers, and the mainstream media is giving them no voice. CrossPolitic is glad to do our part! Meanwhile, the Republican Senate is making some chess moves on behalf of our friends fighting in the military. According to the Military Times: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/coronavirus/2022/05/10/bill-would-mandate-honorable-discharge-for-all-troops-who-refuse-covid-vaccine-mandate/ A “proposal — led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and backed by 13 other GOP colleagues” Would require Defense officials “to grant honorable dismissals to nearly all troops who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine and grant waivers to troops with “natural immunity” to the virus under new legislation introduced by Republican senators on Tuesday.” It “would also mandate that military leaders “make every effort to retain members of the Armed Forces who are not vaccinated” and broaden religious exemptions for the vaccine mandate.” Cruz said: ““It is absolutely unacceptable that [President Joe Biden’s] administration is trying to coerce our men and women in uniform to violate their conscience and religious beliefs, let alone on an issue as polarizing as the COVID-19 vaccine.” Last month, defense officials told Congress that about 3,400 troops have been involuntarily separated from service for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, mandated last fall for all military members. Of that group, about 70% have received general discharges, a designation that allows them to receive most veterans benefits and potentially rejoin the military at a later date. The other 30% have received honorable discharges. Congress last year forbade military leaders from issuing dishonorable discharges for vaccine refusal.” Lies, Propaganda, Story Telling, and the Serrated Edge: This year our national conference is in Knoxville, TN October 6th-8th. The theme of this year’s conference is Lies, Propaganda, Storytelling and the Serrated Edge. Satan is the father of lies, and the mother of those lies is a government who has rejected God. We have especially been lied to these last two years, and the COVIDpanic has been one of the central mechanisms that our government has used to lie to us and to grab more power. Because Christians have not been reading their bibles, we are susceptible to lies and weak in our ability to fight these lies. God has given us His word to fight Satan and his lies, and we need to recover all of God’s word, its serrated edge and all. Mark your calendars for October 6th-8th, as we fight, laugh and feast with fellowship, beer and Psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, hanging with our awesome vendors, meeting new friends, and more. Early bird tickets sale now!. Lastly, and I actually like this play here. DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring High Schools to Observe ‘Victims of Communism Day’ https://www.ntd.com/desantis-signs-bill-requiring-high-schools-to-observe-victims-of-communism-day_776951.html According to the NTD: “Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday that requires “Victims of Communism Day” to be observed annually in public high schools across the state. The bill, known as HB 395, requires public schools to tell students about genocides, famines, and persecutions under communist regimes, including the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Soviet Union. The bill passed the Florida House and Senate unanimously earlier this year. “We want to make sure that every year folks in Florida, but particularly our students, will learn about the evils of communism, the dictators that have led communist regimes, and the hundreds of millions of individuals who suffered and continue to suffer under the weight of this discredited ideology,” DeSantis said Monday morning. The Victims of Communism organization has estimated that communist regimes have caused the deaths of at least 100 million people via political purges, religious persecutions, mass starvation, and other crimes against humanity during the 20th century. Chief among those regimes is the CCP, which is believed to have left around 80 million Chinese people dead.” This is Gabriel Rench with Crosspolitic News.

CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Wednesday May 11th, 2022. Intro this clip: https://twitter.com/johnwesleyreid/status/1524032799501697037 Justice Alito’s neighbor decided to blast “Tis So Sweet To Trust in Jesus” as pro-abortion protestors, outside of Alito’s home, shout something about wanting justice? Have you signed up for our show in Arizona…it is next week, what are you waiting for! Folks- we got some exciting news for the happenings going around here at CrossPolitic and the Fight Laugh Feast Network. First, starting May 30th, CrossPolitic will be moving to a daily show, airing every day at 6pm and of course dropping podcasts. Knox has been pushing us to do this for two years, and he has finally won that argument. So, get ready to tune into you number one nightly news and commentary source! Secondly, to make room for all this new production, the Daily News Brief will be going back to audio, which is where a bulk of our Daily News listeners were at anyways. Thirdly, we have a bunch of new club member benefits we are working on, including an updated website club portal and club only social media platform. So, those listeners who have been lingering in the background, join the club, the party is just getting started. And for our thousands of club members, thank you for staying with us, your continued support, and your prayers. We have a lot of work ahead of us, and this very much feels like a further up and further in moment. Now where was I. Oh that is right, the bloodlust for the abortion crowd is insanity, and you will be seeing unleashed insanity if Roe is overturned. After calling the LGBT to arm themselves, the Mayor of Chicago also promised that Chicago would become and abortion sanctuary. The call of violence is spreading and this pass Sunday a molotov cocktail was thrown into the Wisconsin Family Action offices. As the pro-abortion community found out about it, they decided to leave messages, and here is a compilation of some of those messages: https://notthebee.com/article/pro-life-wisconsin “​​(A) radical pro-abortion group named Jane’s Revenge is saying it was responsible and is threatening increasingly violent attacks that extend beyond Wisconsin if its demands are not met, writing, “Wisconsin is the first flashpoint, but we are all over the US, and we will issue no further warnings.” https://www.lifenews.com/2022/05/10/pro-abortion-group-says-it-firebombed-pro-life-office-promises-more-violence-nationwide-our-last-warning/ Plug Did you know that more than 75% of those raised in evangelical, Presbyterian, and Reformed churches don’t pursue any kind of Christian higher education? Surprising isn’t it. Cornerstone Work & Worldview Institute is seeking to provide a new, exciting, and affordable option for Christians. Their mission is to build Kingdom culture in the workplace by equipping their students in a Trinitarian worldview and vocational competencies. Their low-cost full-time program offers integrative course modules, internships, and mentoring so their students can finish debt-free with vocational preparation, a robust faith, and financial potential to build strong godly families and homes rooted in their communities and churches long-term.

Roll clip: https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1524085282366177283 Friends, we have tons of military personnel that listen to our shows, and they keep us in the loop about what is going on, on the inside as they fight for their careers against the forced vaccination policies. Well right now there is an important court case in front of a federal district court judge in Omaha, that if the judge would rule in favor of religious exemptions, it would apply to the Air Force nationwide. According to the Omaha World Herald: https://omaha.com/news/state-and-regional/offutt-airmen-ask-judge-to-block-covid-vaccine-mandate-citing-religious-beliefs/article_8e96601c-cd89-11ec-b0a7-1f525a4310d5.html “Three current or former Offutt airmen who have refused the COVID-19 vaccine on religious grounds asked a federal district court judge in Omaha on Monday to stop the Air Force from discharging or otherwise punishing them. Capt. Ian McGee, an RC-135 instructor pilot with the Offutt-based 55th Wing, said he applied for a religious exemption eight months ago but hasn’t received a response from his chain of command. He expects it to be denied, as the Air Force has denied nearly all of the more than 7,800 airmen who have applied for them under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, known as RFRA. McGee said he would give up his nine-year military career rather than be injected with a vaccine tested with cell lines taken many years ago from aborted fetuses. “It goes against my sincerely held religious beliefs as a born-again Christian,” McGee testified. “My resolve is to stay with my relationship with Jesus Christ.” The three airmen are part of a larger group of 36 — including active-duty, National Guard and reserves — who filed suit in U.S. District Court in Nebraska in March seeking to overturn the mandate issued by the Pentagon last August. They argue it is a violation of their First Amendment rights. They are represented by former Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach and a team of lawyers from the America First Policy Institute, a conservative think tank organized last year by several top advisers in the administration of former President Donald Trump. Kris Kobach “blasted the elaborate multi-level review of the applications for religious exemptions, alleging that more than 7,500 have been denied and only 46 granted. And the ones granted were only for airmen who were within six months of retirement.” Be praying for our people in the military. This is stressful on their families, careers, and the mainstream media is giving them no voice. CrossPolitic is glad to do our part! Meanwhile, the Republican Senate is making some chess moves on behalf of our friends fighting in the military. According to the Military Times: https://www.militarytimes.com/news/coronavirus/2022/05/10/bill-would-mandate-honorable-discharge-for-all-troops-who-refuse-covid-vaccine-mandate/ A “proposal — led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and backed by 13 other GOP colleagues” Would require Defense officials “to grant honorable dismissals to nearly all troops who refuse the COVID-19 vaccine and grant waivers to troops with “natural immunity” to the virus under new legislation introduced by Republican senators on Tuesday.” It “would also mandate that military leaders “make every effort to retain members of the Armed Forces who are not vaccinated” and broaden religious exemptions for the vaccine mandate.” Cruz said: ““It is absolutely unacceptable that [President Joe Biden’s] administration is trying to coerce our men and women in uniform to violate their conscience and religious beliefs, let alone on an issue as polarizing as the COVID-19 vaccine.” Last month, defense officials told Congress that about 3,400 troops have been involuntarily separated from service for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine, mandated last fall for all military members. Of that group, about 70% have received general discharges, a designation that allows them to receive most veterans benefits and potentially rejoin the military at a later date. The other 30% have received honorable discharges. Congress last year forbade military leaders from issuing dishonorable discharges for vaccine refusal.” Lies, Propaganda, Story Telling, and the Serrated Edge: This year our national conference is in Knoxville, TN October 6th-8th. The theme of this year’s conference is Lies, Propaganda, Storytelling and the Serrated Edge. Satan is the father of lies, and the mother of those lies is a government who has rejected God. We have especially been lied to these last two years, and the COVIDpanic has been one of the central mechanisms that our government has used to lie to us and to grab more power. Because Christians have not been reading their bibles, we are susceptible to lies and weak in our ability to fight these lies. God has given us His word to fight Satan and his lies, and we need to recover all of God’s word, its serrated edge and all. Mark your calendars for October 6th-8th, as we fight, laugh and feast with fellowship, beer and Psalms, our amazing lineup of speakers, hanging with our awesome vendors, meeting new friends, and more. Early bird tickets sale now!. Lastly, and I actually like this play here. DeSantis Signs Bill Requiring High Schools to Observe ‘Victims of Communism Day’ https://www.ntd.com/desantis-signs-bill-requiring-high-schools-to-observe-victims-of-communism-day_776951.html According to the NTD: “Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Monday that requires “Victims of Communism Day” to be observed annually in public high schools across the state. The bill, known as HB 395, requires public schools to tell students about genocides, famines, and persecutions under communist regimes, including the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Soviet Union. The bill passed the Florida House and Senate unanimously earlier this year. “We want to make sure that every year folks in Florida, but particularly our students, will learn about the evils of communism, the dictators that have led communist regimes, and the hundreds of millions of individuals who suffered and continue to suffer under the weight of this discredited ideology,” DeSantis said Monday morning. The Victims of Communism organization has estimated that communist regimes have caused the deaths of at least 100 million people via political purges, religious persecutions, mass starvation, and other crimes against humanity during the 20th century. Chief among those regimes is the CCP, which is believed to have left around 80 million Chinese people dead.” This is Gabriel Rench with Crosspolitic News.

And with that comes the most robust set of data of anyone that we'll have in the country when it comes to supply and demand discrepancies and vehicle storage. So we believe there's absolutely an opportunity whether it's us or an outside investment group or some of our current investors that are self-storage owners and operators have expressed interest. You know, they want this data to know where should I buy my next yard?   Intro  00:24 Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we'll teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big.      Sam Wilson  00:33 Carmelo Mannino is the CEO and co-founder of STOW IT. STOW IT is a marketplace for vehicle storage. Carmelo's background is in digital marketing and consumer-facing applications. And he started STOW IT with two brothers in 2017. And they are growing rapidly. Carmelo, welcome to the show.   Carmelo Mannino  00:53 Thanks for having me, Sam. Great to be here.   Sam Wilson  00:54 Hey, man, the pleasure is mine. Three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show: in 90 seconds or less, where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?   Carmelo Mannino  01:01 Yep, we started by accident, personal problem finding self-storage. We started renting out basements, turned out to be a terrible idea. And then we pivoted to garages. So right now where we're at is stone is an online marketplace where we help individuals with barns, garages, land, driveways, anything that can store an item on wheels, that's RVs semis, cars, trucks. It's got wheels, we've probably stored it, where we're at right now is obviously a marketplace for vehicle storage and looking to expand. We've built a great business in Denver and starting to go beyond so the next few years is us expanding to more cities around the country with this kind of turnkey business model we've created.   Sam Wilson  01:41 Interesting. So what caused you to think of this business?   Carmelo Mannino  01:45 So one of the founders was moving, and it was two brothers, myself and Dylan and Devin Eldridge and Devin was moving in his house closed three days before his new house opened, and he had to pay $400 for three days of self-storage, and he thought there's got to be a better way. So he started opening up his basement to buddies and friends that he knew needed self-storage, and then that ended up with us opening up our backyards, and driveways, to vehicles. And from that, we found that self-storage was hard to do. It was, if you can imagine a buddy moves in, you're gonna help them, you're not going to make a lot of money. And it's only gonna be for short term. Whereas with a vehicle, an RV, it's much longer term, it's a higher dollar value, and it's less hassle for property owners.   Sam Wilson  02:28 What, so you guys have built a platform, you're the Uber of storage. That is really interesting. And you guys have built this out in Denver?   Carmelo Mannino  02:37 We've built it out in Denver and a bit beyond, too. We touch a few niches like long-term airport parking, semi storage, where we have a national reach with both of those. That includes 40 locations around the country most of your major metros and cities. Whereas in Denver, we focus a lot on what we call our peer-to-peer model. So that's individuals like yourself or myself renting out garages, driveways, barns, farmland. That's one of our big ones. You know, we're really a suburban business. People in the city that have the extra cars or have the RV, we help them go to find the spot in the suburbs to store their RV.   Sam Wilson  03:12 Right. No, I think that's absolutely brilliant. What has been some of your challenges, getting this scaled or even getting people to know about it?   Carmelo Mannino  03:21 We're really building two businesses at once, because we've got to get the property owners on board and establish trust with that community. And then we've got to get the renters on board as well. And, you know, we've built great technology, we've custom build everything ourselves to be a really good matchmaker in terms of finding what you need. While we're always looking for more on both sides, more properties, and more renters. You know, if you live, let's say you live in Memphis, you don't want to go 45 minutes to store your RV, you want something pretty close to you. So we're always looking for more property. So really, the challenge is just growing both sides of the market. It's really a chicken and egg problem. And we encounter that every time we go into a new market. So for example, we're expanding to Atlanta right now. And we've got some property owners and now we've got to build up the demand. And then once we fill those left to build up more property owners and more demand, eventually we get to a spot like where we're at in Denver, where it kind of becomes a flywheel and starts running itself a little bit where you know, we've got great SEO, we've got enough property owners to where we almost always have vacancies and we've got enough renters that are repeat renters looking to always rent with us in the Denver area.   Sam Wilson  04:29 But what's the greatest opportunity that you see because I'm certain that as you touch all of these different things from you know, regular just vehicle storage or boat storage or RV storage to you know, industrial to shipping, I mean, you see you're touching all of it. What's the greatest opportunity right now in the commercial sector?   Carmelo Mannino  04:50 Right now, it's the semi storage. It's the 75-foot truck and trailer you know, they go by big rig, tractor-trailer semi-truck trailer That's a huge missing piece in terms of the supply. There's just not enough supply for these guys, there's 1.5 million drivers on the road and any given night, 500,000 places for them to park. And that's why you see them on the side of highways, whenever you travel there, all the rest stops on all the highways, because there just isn't... The inventory wasn't built, you have these national large REITs that want to provide the highest return on investment, and kudos to them. And that's what they should be doing. But they're going to build five by fives and five by 10s. They're not building 75 by 15, which is what a semi-truck and trailer needs. So that's a huge opportunity. Right now we're working with multiple funds right now that are looking to get involved in the semi storage industry.   Sam Wilson  05:42 Yeah, that sounds I mean, easily adaptable in the sense that you by I mean, correct me here because I don't own any of this, obviously have a background at one point in the parking business. But I mean, you've got a fence, you've got a yard, security cameras, and then marked off spaces, controlled access, is there anything I'm missing there?   Carmelo Mannino  06:01 May be a person to move them in every once in a while. But once they do that they're fantastic renters, what it is is called over the road drivers. And these are individuals where 90% of this industry is I own one truck and one trailer. And that's how they make their livelihood. So once you move them in, you know, what we find is they're on a shift, they're on a schedule. So they'll be there Thursday through Saturday, and then they'll be on the road Sunday through Wednesday. And it's a very consistent month after month. But you're right, it's a really low development costs, especially if you can buy heavy industrial or even some cities and counties light industrial allow it as well. If you can find that land, if you can put down the gravel put up an automated fence some security cameras mark the spots, you know, you're in business.   Sam Wilson  06:45 That is really, really interesting. You know, I mean, at this day and age, like a lot of truckers are now becoming accredited investors. That's the thing, as well as that you have people that are making really good money driving a truck right now, and that are able to obviously pay good rent, what happens in economic downturn? How does this business get affected?   Carmelo Mannino  07:07 As we saw in COVID, actually, you know, when we hit a little bit of a downturn there, actually more people went to the trucking industry, they were able to hire some drivers. But you know, 90% of things that we own is on a semi-truck at any given point in time. So even if that number goes down, there's still a huge shortage. If consumerism slows down by a bit, there's still a shortage of semi-drivers. There's a drastic need right now for more drivers. So I don't think that industry slows down at all. I think what we've also seen a huge invest a huge opportunity on the not-so-commercial side, is you look at companies like Winnebago and Mastercraft boats, they've got billions and billions of dollars of backlogged inventory. You know, you can't buy a brand new RV until 2024. Right now, if you're getting it custom built. So what we've seen is an economic downturn, people are still buying these toys, you know, they're not buying so much stuff, they're buying bigger items. And that's these vehicles, the semi drivers, so that's their career. And that's their job. So, you know, if anything, they're going to try and expand and try and grow. You got to think of these as like a business-to-business relationship. Even though it's one person and one truck, it's a bit different than storing your RV. That's their livelihood.   Sam Wilson  08:18 When you guys go to a new city, in this case, it's Atlanta for you, right? How do you even approach penetrating that market?   Carmelo Mannino  08:25 It's a lot of sales. My theory on business is almost everything is sales. You're always selling. But, you know, we've got to get the property owners first and foremost, and that's how we think about it. We've got to have the inventory there to where when we attract the demand, they've got multiple options to store. You know, the big advantage of STOW IT in our marketplace over traditional storage is that we can offer the customers a wider variety of spaces. If you want a one-car private garage, we want to have that? If you want to share five spots in a bar and we want to have that. Traditional storage, we work with the traditional industry as well. We don't run from them, we try to integrate them onto our platform. So the first part we think about is let's get supply. In our market we call supply and demand for us our renters and hosts. We want to get our property owners there, start forming relationships with them. And then we worry about finding the demand and filling those spots.   Sam Wilson  09:17 Tell me that process. There's got to be a sales process or you know, how do you guys attract both sets? I guess both of them are customers. So how do you attract them?   Carmelo Mannino  09:26 Yeah, a lot of inbound marketing, well on our property owner side, you know. We write a lot about how do you safely rent out your garage or barn. We've got contracts you can find us stowit.com We've got a how should you price your space as stowit.com You know, a lot of great helpful tools. Most of the individuals we work with, we're not using their land or their barn in their garage for storage before us. So they're entering a new, really new business right so new income for them and a lot of our hosts pay their mortgage every month with us. So it can be serious income, and they need a company there to help them so we want to be a resource first and foremost, for our property owners providing great support. But it is reaching out to a lot of these what we call it the informal market. You know, Craigslist has a parking and storage section, Facebook marketplace, we will call warehouses that we know have, you know, additional storage, it can make additional revenue. But once you try it and you start making additional revenue, you realize it's not a lot of effort, it's very low risk. And the more energy you can get, the more income you can make. So you're just limited by the size of your property. So yeah, lots of sales calls to kind of kickstart a market, eventually, you start getting more referrals in a market, people start researching, seeing you on Google. And then for the demand side, we do we use virtual assistants that post on Craigslist, that post on Facebook on a daily basis. We use Google ads, we use SEO, we write blogs, we handle all the marketing. We like to say we handle all the headache for our property owners, you know. Iff you're going to buy a piece of land, all you have to do is move them in and assign them their spot. So you know, if you've got marked spots, you don't even have to be there. But you don't you know, if you've got a day job, you don't want to hassle with the marketing, the payment collections, the evictions. These are all things that STOW IT handles for you. So they're just on autopilot in the background.   Sam Wilson  11:11 What is the take for you guys? Is it on a per, you just have a flat, Hey, this is what we always charge? Or is it on a per deal basis? How does that work?   Carmelo Mannino  11:21 More of a flat, consistent rate. So whatever your list price is, so if you list a garage for $100, we're going to take 10% per month from you. And we're going to upcharge the renter about 10%. So each side of the platform pays a fee to us so that, you know we're not just raking our property owners over the coals taken 25-30% from them each month, we're taking 10% and then we're up charging the renter on that same side as well.   Sam Wilson  11:45 Got it. Yeah, that makes sense. You guys have to make money along the way. What's the projection for you guys? What's the next step in your business?   Carmelo Mannino  11:52 Yeah, we want to 10x within the next two years. So we're in a pretty critical stage right now where we've built a very turnkey business model in the Colorado area. We've got some niches in our business that are beyond Colorado that we've proven out, we want to take our peer model that we've built to a, you know, a million plus dollar business in Colorado, and build it out to 15 more markets around the country over the next two years. We think that this works in about 40 markets around the country. And it's not your major, it's not LA, it's not Chicago, it's not New York, it's more of an Omaha business, as we say Nashville, you know, these areas where they get rural really quickly outside of a city center, and they're growing markets. That's where our business will thrive. And that's where we want to expand it to.   Sam Wilson  12:35 Got it, man, that's absolutely awesome. I love the idea how have you guys funded 2017 until now. It's five years of, you know, blood, sweat and tears into building a platform that's just now about to take off. Have you done that?   Carmelo Mannino  12:49 You know, initially, we did have other part-time jobs. And we're doing some contracting work and other things, all of our backgrounds in technology and consulting or, you know, mine was in mobile app consulting, my development, my co-founder was in development, consulting. Angels have been a huge part of our business and where we've gotten the money has really been a testament to the product we built, because 80% of our funding has come from users of our product. So these are individuals like yourself that are somehow involved in real estate typically, but not in self-storage. And they might have a barn or garage they start using STOW IT, they start making money. And they say, Hey, you know, this is not exactly my wheelhouse. But I understand real estate, I understand what you're doing. I want to invest in STOW IT. We take a guy like, I won't give his last name, his name is Mark, and he's in Castle Rock. He's been a real estate developer for 30 years. And he has a huge barn. Well, he makes about $2,500 a month with us. So he's just rolled a year back into STOW IT, did to $25,000 investment because he said hey, I'm gonna make $30,000 with you all that I would not have made otherwise.   Sam Wilson  13:51 Right. That's absolutely awesome. And you guys are gonna, if you can talk about this or not. And if you can't, you can cut it. But you guys are in the middle of a funding round for your next kind of iteration of the business. Is that right?    Carmelo Mannino  14:02 We are. Yeah, this is going to be our true seed round. It's our first kind of large capital raise, you know, most of our funding to date has been, you know, Angels, smaller checks. Right now we're looking to raise 2.5 million at 7.5 million pre-money valuation. And that really funds us for the next 24 months. It gets us into those 15 markets. We believe it takes us from a $1.5-2 million business to around a $20 million business. So we think it can provide a great return. Like I said, it's a pretty easy, simple business to understand. Right? The hard part is getting the hosts and getting the renters but the demand is out there. Self-storage has a supply problem, especially when it comes to vehicles. And we have this huge advantage in that we don't have to purchase and develop real estate to gain supply in a city.   Sam Wilson  14:48 Right? I mean, again, going back to the Uber of storage, that's your value play, is that you don't have to build all of it. You just need to connect the two parties and then facilitate the transaction.   Carmelo Mannino  14:59 Exactly. Yeah, we don't own any real estate, but we make almost 20% on all the real estate we work with.   Sam Wilson  15:06 Right. Which is fantastic. I love the model. What are you guys doing? Because I'm certain that as you get further and further into this business, people are gonna start coming to you with assets to sell. They're gonna start coming to you with stuff that said, hey, you know, anybody that wants this? What are you guys doing with those, with that data right now?   Carmelo Mannino  15:23 Right now, we believe that could be a phase two of our business. We want to become the largest provider of vehicle storage in the country. And with that comes the most robust set of data of anyone that we'll have in the country when it comes to supply and demand discrepancies in vehicle storage. So we believe there's absolutely an opportunity, whether it's us, or an outside investment group, or some of our current investors that are self-storage owners and operators have expressed interest, you know, they want this data to know where should I buy my next yard. You know, we look at a market like Minneapolis, and it's a pretty frugal market when it comes to vehicle storage, semi storage, it's one of the most expensive markets in the country. And that's data that a traditional storage company would not be able to get because they are not involved in that aspect of storage. So examples like that are really big, we believe that there is an opportunity out there to buy and own part of our own yards, build a more robust management software. And really, we still want to help individuals. But we see an opportunity out there especially in the commercial industry for us to eventually get involved in yards.   Sam Wilson  16:25 Right Man, I love it. Carmelo, congrats to you guys, and the product you've built so far, best of luck to you in the next phase of your business and journey. And I think it's really intriguing, just like you talked about how you get to connect all the different pieces. And maybe someday you'll have more of an active part on the acquisition or, you know, partnering side of the physical real estate. But in this you know, what you guys doing right now you don't have to own it, and you still get to look at the profit along the way. So that's pretty cool. I think it's also pretty cool just to hear what you guys see happening on the real estate side of things. So loads of fun. Thanks for coming on today. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?   Carmelo Mannino  17:01 Yeah, I am easy to contact my direct email is Carmelo, C-A-R-M-E-L-O, @stowit.com. You can email at info@stowit.com. Those are two great ways. You can sign up whether you're looking to rent a spot if you've got an RV and you're listening and you need space. Hopefully, we've got it in the city you're looking for. Or if you're a property owner, we're always looking for more property owners around the country. We work with large firms, we work with everybody from what we call grandma with a one-car garage to companies doing billions of dollars in the parking industry. So anywhere in between that we can work with you if you have real estate so we're always looking for more opportunities and ways to expand. So email me at carmelo@stowit.com We get the conversation started.   Sam Wilson  17:43 Awesome. Carmelo, thank you so much. Have a great day.    Carmelo Mannino  17:45 All right.

Keeping a local family restaurant afloat during the pandemic was hard enough. Can you imagine on top of that, you'd attract an angry mob who would try and take you down, purely because they hate a group that you hosted?    Adie with Don Carmelo's pizza has incredible character and tenacity for courageously allowing human beings to host events at her family's restaurant because she believes freedom of speech needs to be protected.    Not only is this a great episode to learn about what goes on in our very own community, but to bring awareness to the best New York style pizza in the Omaha metro.    doncarmelos.com
